n. a feeling of resonant connection with an author or artist you’ll never meet, who may have lived centuries ago and thousands of miles away but can still get inside your head and leave behind morsels of their experience, like the little piles of stones left by hikers that mark a hidden path through unfamiliar territory.
Os troncos das árvores doem-me como se fossem os meus ombros
Doem-me as ondas do mar como gargantas de cristal
Dói-me o luar como um pano branco que se rasga.
